ACE THE NMAT

The Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) offers
post graduate level management programs for which it conducts a national level
entrance exam called the Narsee Monjee Aptitude Test (NMAT). The NMAT is
conducted every year to select suitable candidates for the post graduate
programs offered by the NMIMS. The admission to the courses such as MBA Core,
MBA-Banking, MBA-Capital Market, MBA-HR, MBA-Actuarial Science, MBA-Pharmaceuticals
and many more are done through the NMAT. The courses offered by NMIMS are very
highly valued throughout the industry and therefore the level of competition in
the NMAT is really high. To ace the NMAT, the candidates must first know the
pattern of the test.

The NMAT will have a total of 120 multiple choice questions that
will ascertain the candidate’s aptitude in quantitative ability, language
skills and logical reasoning, which the candidates will have to attempt within
the duration of 120 minutes. On an average, the candidates will have 1 minute
for every question.

Since the questions will come from quantitative ability, logical
reasoning and language skills, the candidates must have a strong hold in all
three.

Time is an important factor. The candidates must practice well
enough to be able to solve questions with big numbers without errors easily.
The candidates aiming to ace NMAT must also develop a habit of reading so as to
increase the reading speed. The NMAT paper does not have any negative marking
scheme, unlike CAT where marks are deducted for wrong answers. The candidates
must not fear to attempt a question even if he/she thinks that the answer might
be wrong. This will definitely increase the chances of scoring high in NMAT but
only to some extent. The NMAT aspirants must hold on to strong dedication from
the beginning to the end because there is no substitute for practice and hard
work.
